Lobsters: Biology, Management, Aquaculture & Fisheries, 2nd Edition

This expanded and fully updated Second Edition of the most
comprehensive and successful book on lobsters, comprises
contributions from many of the world’s experts, each
providing core information for all those working in lobster
biology, fisheries research and management and lobster
aquaculture.

Under the editorship of Bruce Phillips, the Second Edition of
Lobsters: Biology, Management, Fisheries and Aquaculture
delivers exhaustive coverage of these fascinating creatures,
stretching from growth and development to management and
conservation. A number of chapters from the First Edition covering
Growth, Reproduction, Diseases, Behaviour, Nutrition, Larval and
Post-Larval Ecology and Juvenile and Adult Ecology have been
replaced by new chapters including Lobsters in Ecosystems,
Genetics, Translocation, Climate Change, Ecolabelling of Lobsters,
Casitas and Other Artificial Shelters, Systems to maximise Economic
Benefits.. These new chapters reflect changes that are occurring in
lobster management and new research developments brought on by
social, climatic and economic changes.

As well as information from new research output, information in
each chapter is also included on individual commercial Genera,
including aspects of Species and distribution, Predators and
diseases, Ecology and behaviour, Aquaculture and enhancement,
Harvest of wild populations and their regulations, Management and
conservation. The chapter on slipper lobsters has also been
expanded to include Thenus and Ibacus species which
are now subject to commercial fisheries. The changes that have
occurred in some lobster fisheries, the new management arrangements
in place, the status of stocks and the current economic and social
situation of each fishery have also been covered and discussed in
great detail.

Fisheries scientists, fisheries managers aquaculture personnel,
aquatic and invertebrate biologists, physiologists, ecologists,
marine biologists and environmental biologists will all find
Lobsters Second Edition to be a vital source of reference.
Libraries in all universities and research establishments where
biological and life sciences and fisheries and aquaculture are
studied and taught will find it an extremely valuable addition to
their shelves.

Bruce Phillips is based at the Department of Environment and Agriculture, Curtin University, Perth, Western Australia and is highly regarded for his work in the area of fisheries and aquaculture with a focus on invertebrates.

“The volume’s 15 contributors represent considerable
expertise, so the book is an authoritative resource on lobster life
history and management. Summing Up: Highly recommended.
Graduate students, researchers/faculty, and
professionals.” (Choice, 1 November 2013)
